The Parachute Queen - Paul Paris - Bog

Bag om The Parachute Queen

Abby Simpson flees her abusive father in East Texas during the Great Depression. She attends her first airshow and is introduced to the dangerous, entertaining world of barnstorming. She marries daredevil Jesse Bradshaw, and they tour the country with The Flight Crew. Barnstorming is plagued with rickety aircraft, unsafe parachutes, and crazy pilots. Dozens of fearless performers lose their lives while making a living. Jesse is killed when he performs a risky five-parachute jump. His widow is left with a difficult choice. With no education, family, or money, Abby chooses the risky barnstorming lifestyle to survive even though female performers are rare. She quickly becomes a star. Newspapers all over the country call her "The Parachute Queen," the darling of the skies. Based on a one-of-a-kind true story, The Parachute Queen takes you on a riveting ride in the sky through the eyes of a woman who dared to rise above the odds and make history.
